My First Weight In.........

Hey there!!! Sorry I was out the whole weekend. I had a ton going on!!!! I wanna not let that be a reason to not blog on the weekends. For me that is one of the most important times!! I had the boys a small b-day party on Sat............so I was on the go!!! We had dogs, chips, dips, beans, potato salad......and of course CAKE and ICE CREAM!!! I was so proud of me!!!! I ate what everyone else ate....only normal size portions!

We put up my moms pool on Sun.........HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!! THAT IS SOME HARD WORK!!! I shoveled sand up and over a 41/2 foot wall!!! My arms felt like jello! Still do!! I worked hard, and that made me feel good, cause that was to me working off my food from the party!! hehehehe

Today I was gooooooood. I will say that at first when I went to WW and got on the scale I was......ummm.......I guess you would say......upset......cause I had wanted to see about 7# down. I just felt that I had done soooo well.

I lost 5.4# ..........and I have to stop and see that it IS a LOSS!!!! I am not gaining 5.4#!!!!!! So I have to STOP and see the positive and LET GO of the negative!!!

I am feeling some down.....I got me a personal issue going on and it is trying to get the best of me!!! Say a extra prayer for me plz!!

Well I will get back on track with my blog I hope. Plz feel free to let me know any thoughts you have or some positives that I can put in place of the negative!!


Thanks so much for reading.......Again your support means so much.

I love you Sissy......I am so thankful for you. I am blessed to have a Sissy like you. Thank you for your love, devotion, and support.

Bye.....until tomorrow!!!

Day 3..........

Howdy my faithful supporters!!!

How was your day?? I pray you all had a good day!!! I had a well....good as far as food and healthy choices....but I had a OB appointment today!!! YUCK!!!!

I felt like a slab of meat!!! Ya know I am sure there are 3XL cover up thingys they could buy! I had to use a little blue jacket that did not even cover ONE boob much less both of my girls!!! And the "blanket" type thing......yea RIGHT!!! What a sight......



Soooo......I am still feeling really good. I feel this little blue cloud that wants to stay above my head......and I am fighting really hard to just ignore it! I get to feeling "blue" and I have NO idea why?? It is like when I finally get to feeling like there is hope......the cloud comes rushing it to say NOPE.....you are not allowed to feel that way!!!!



Well I have a staff meeting at Meyer Park tomorrow.......and we are doing brown bag lunches! My coworkers and I are going to be doing turkey wraps and fresh veggies.....maybe some baked chips too. They are doing it to help me!! How sweet!! I think it will be good!



I have been cutting back on caffeine too. So far I am doing well. I went from about 6 cups of coffee to not quite 2 and from 3 or 4 diet dr peppers to only 1~~~ I had headaches for a while but it seems to be better!

I did it!!!

Well this it the first time I have ever done this.....so plz bear with me!!
I want to start a blog of my Life Journey to being a healthy me!! Today I walked back into the Weight Watcher meetings!! It was the first time in about a year. I have gone to WW before...back in 2001 and had a great deal of success. I lost about 150#. I then got prego with my second child. WELLLLLLLL that was a mess......that I WOULD NOT CHANGE!!!! I ended up on bed rest for the whole time (on and off) and my son was to be born with a ton of problems. (he is a healthy boy about to go to school!) It sent me into a downward spiral.....FAST!!! I gained some back....then before long it was all back!!! Sooooo that is where I am today. I wanted so badly to have the bypass done.....but you know what? I do not need that!!! I can and will do this......and it starts NOW~~~~

So I hope that maybe I can find time to get on everyday and blog about my day and get input from friends and family. I will post some pics of now and then as time goes on my progress~~

Plz feel free to send me any tips or ideas along the way. I will post anything that I think may help you as well.

Okay.....so until next time......God Bless!!!
